Dec 9th is the most important day of Muay Thai, is it is the King of Thailand's birthday. Ajahn Suchart,
and the Thai ambassador has requested our presence to celebrate a night
of Thai food, awards, Kru promotions and of course...fights.

If you are like me, and Muay Thai has done much positivity in your
life, tonight is the night to give back. I hope for all of us to
celebrate that night together.

*Tickets are reserved in advance with your Kru (Jen)! 65$ is all inclusive. Let's get a YMT table going!

Please let us know ASAP if you can attend!!!*

"A wonderful night of
traditional and cultural events including: His Honour the Ambassador to
Thailand's welcome speech, Thai dancers, Thai food, my annual reflection
and awards ceremony, recognition of new Krus, and Kru Yais, Muay Thai
demonstrations and the Royal Thai Ambassador Cups, and more special
items to honour the occasion."

You are invited to join your YMT family this year!
Come out for Awards, Prizes, Food and the celebration of another year together :D

December 16th! 6pmLocation: TBA

Important:

The
holidays are always the hardest time of year for people who are in
need.

This year especially, due to the economy, people who are less
fortunate are having an especially difficult time making ends meet. Food
banks are not experiencing the same level of donations that they
usually receive this time of year. York Muay Thai would like to help
this situation, so please consider bringing a non-perishable food
donation to be donated to a local food bank. If you bring 5 items, then
you will get extra chances to win excellent prizes in this year's
raffle.

Here is Kru Jen's article with a unique, yet not so unique
perspective on being a woman in the Muay Thai world. I say "not so
unique" only because their are many women in the MT community, and Kru
helps bring the reality of being one to the forefront.

I
also think it's a great article for anyone that's ever felt too shy,
weak or perhaps overlooked in their MT and life experience. Read it and hopefully inspire yourself to reach your full potential, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

This fight was for the Ch 7 Mini fly weight (105 lbs) championship. If you look back, you see I've been posting Yuthasak fights a lot recently. He's kind of a ring genius. Sitisak is no slouch though, and takes it to him.

We all know that the better your pad holder is, the better training you get. If you learn to improve your ability to hold pads, you can not only improve your partner's technique but educate them on how to improve yours.

So this Sunday (November 11th) from 11am-1pm, we'll be having a workshop on pad holding- both for general techniques, as well as how to train fighters.

Yes, it is indeed getting colder! However, it's never too late to pick up some running tips...especially since running is a staple in a Muay Thai fighter's training regime.

There are many different things you'll hear about running form, and I would never say that one style should fit all. This particular style has helped me a lot though. I'm not a great runner, but I've found that I'm more efficient and my times improved when adopting this style.

Kru Jen will be teaching at this Charity event along with many others in the martials arts community. ***THIS IS A DONATE WHAT YOU WANT AT DOOR EVENT*** Preferably a $20 DONATION, BUT ANY AMOUNT IS ACCEPTED AND RESPECTED!!!
